From 4 to 20 May 2017 the locality of Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, once again and in what is now an established local tradition, hosted the Flamenco Festival, now in its 12th edition.

As in previous years, the event featured true personalities of the genre, a whole series of distinguished cantaores, bailaores and instrumentalists, among whom this year we may draw attention to:

Miguel Ángel Cortés, guitarrist born in Granada and winner of the Paco de Lucía Guitar Prize en 1994, who has worked with the likes of Enrique and Estrella Morente; Jeromo Segura, reputed cantaor from Huelva; and, for the first time in Esch, Rocío Márquez, also from Huelva and recognised as one of the most promisning new voices in the genre.

As always, congratulations go to the organising bodies, especially the Kulturfabrik event venue and the Antonio Machado Spanish Cultural Circle in Luxembourg, for making possible this major yearly event which so successfully crystallises the cultural essence of Spain and Andalusia.
